📃“The people on board tell us that several people have already drowned. The boat is very overcrowded and the people are panicking. They are calling urgently for help. ❗Please send rescue immediately❗” (email excerpt - 21 June, 00:37) This was already the fourth email we sent. Shortly after, we were informed that the Moroccan Navy was responsible for rescuing. But Moroccan authorities didn’t reply to our calls or Emails until the morning. The morning, when only 24 of the 61 people were found alive 💔. Another shipwreck that could have been avoided! Only a week after hundreds of people were left to drown near Pylos, Greece. Another 34 lives that wouldn’t have been lost in the Atlantic, if there were no borders arbitrarily crossing the seas! ◾We are in deep grief and anger! ◾We will bring our anger to the place, where the killing is orchestrated! ◾Join us from Wednesday to Friday at European Parliament https://www.facebook.com/events/977567126613872

“To more bridges & fewer walls!” Father Zerai, who responded to countless distress calls from the Mediterranean Sea, inspired Alarm Phone. When we asked him if we should start the distress hotline he said: “Start today, not tomorrow.” Thank you, Father Abba Mussie Zerai for your wishes to our 8-year anniversary!

Countless Refugeesinlibya are trapped in a cruel cycle of violence. Over the past months, thousands have courageously protested in front of the office of the UNHCR in Libya. Their protests were violently suppressed by Libyan authorities - all the more important that we listen!

#8M Against Sexism and Patriarchy - In anti-racist initiatives and everywhere else, every day! Feminism is a team sport! And it is a global challenge and a collective struggle. Global solidarity requires an anti-racist and intersectional approach. Eight initiatives working against the racist and brutal effects of the European border regime are speaking out for solidarity among women and queers through this video, today on the 8th of March and every single day, all around the world. This also means that it is often about listening instead of talking over each other, that it is not about rescue, but about partnership, about a common fight against patriarchy, on eye level. #8thMarch #InternationalWomensDay #antiracism #feminism

Emergency demonstration tomorrow @ 14:00 Crowne Plaza Hotel Stockley Road, West Drayton UB7 9NA England Bukhariri Afifi Ahmad, a young Sudanese asylum seeker, was found dead in his hotel room late last night. The reasons for his death are still unclear. He was last seen alive on Friday evening. When other residents raised concerns about Bukhariri's welfare, hotel management initially refused to open his door and check on him. This morning the residents organised a demonstration to protest the poor conditions and neglect they live in at the hotel which they say lead to Bukhariri's death. They have called another demonstration for TOMORROW @ 2PM in front of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in West Drayton and are asking for support! More people have died in Home Office accommodation than crossing the Channel in the last years. After making such long and dangerous journeys, why are so many dying under the government's duty of care? Do not let Bukhariri be forgotten!

✊🏽Solidarity with the ongoing protests of the Sudanese community in Libya: “We are still in a sit-in in front of the UNHCR headquarters in Sarraj, and it continues to sit-in until the demands of our stolen rights are fulfilled. We, as Sudanese refugees, have been dark towards the UNHCR for years, but we will not remain silent anymore. We will continue to demand the most basic rights that we deserve.”

Nine Syrian refugees in distress illegally pushed back to Turkey!
Nine Syrian refugees in distress illegally pushed back to Turkey! Last Thursday, the Alarm Phone was alerted by nine Syrian refugees in distress in the snow in Northern Greece, 30km away from Ariana. The refugees informed 112 several times and we alerted different border guard stations and the UNHCR about their situation. A few hours later, they were collected by Greek border guards and taken to an unknown police station. Afterwards, we could not reach them for more than 24 hours. Only two days later, the group contacted us again from a hospital in Istanbul! Despite the UNHCR, the Greek authorities and the public being informed, Greek authorities beat them up and illegally pushed them back to Turkey in a mass pushback! The survivors of the pushback told us: "They sent us back to Turkey, and there were also people in the prison, the total was 52 people."
